Post by: Deako on February 21, 2012, 11:06:48 pm: That is immense. A complete bargain considering the build cost on a BTCC car.

Mostly the 500-600 hours labour to prep/weld the shell. :happy2:

Post by: simonp on February 21, 2012, 11:43:48 pm: Well second hand BTCC cars usually sell for 50 grand or more, suggesting the engine (and gearbox, I just noticed this has a manual) must account for over half the cost?

It still has everything else except the engine. The suspension alone would be a fair chunk along with the brakes etc.

Not really. Quite a lot of the current BTCC cars use off the shelf suspension kits probably due to them being based on production cars.

Brakes see Prof. Friction. :wink:
